    Main Methods:

    • Clinical experience with long-acting injectable fluphenazines.
    • Observation of patient outcomes in a continuing-care program.

    Main Results:

    • Fluphenazine injections demonstrated long-lasting therapeutic effects.
    • The treatment was found to be economical and associated with fewer serious side effects, notably tardive dyskinesia.
    • Injectable administration bypassed issues with patient compliance in residential facilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-acting injectable fluphenazines are a valuable therapeutic option for chronic schizophrenia.
